Clayton; C. M. Tatz; March 1964. The thesis is an appraisal of the administration of the Government's policy of
assimilating the Aborigines of the Northern Territory into the ordinary community. It has several theoretical aspects. It explores the reasons for the demonstrated gap between the policy and its administration. It assesses the effects on the execution of policy and its administration. It assesses the effects on the execution of policy of the allocation of most relevant functions to Welfare Branch of the Northern Territory Administration. It suggests guide-lines, in administrative terms, for a critical assessment of the Aboriginal 'problem' both in the Northern Territory and in other Australian states. Colin Tatz later authored several books and published articles on race politics, genocide, the Holocaust, antisemitism, and racism in sport. He was the director of the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Professor of Politics at the University of New England, Armidale, and at Macquarie University, Sydney.
